From the look of his stats he seems to be a similar type of player as Toopi was.

He's not a prolific try scorer but he seems to take a lot of hit ups and make a lot of tackles.

Toopi was a NZ international this lad is an average squad player.

Very average signing, and not the type of import we should be signing, hope he proves me wrong but its a sad state of affairs to lose a very promising young player and then sign a run of the mill australian centre.

IF he has signed shouldn't we trust our scouting structure and give the lad a chance to prove his worth??????

Defiantly. If Leeds win another Grand Final whilst he’s in the squad then we can’t be doing much wrong. Its just that some people want superstars in every position..

general feedback on Aussie Forum seems to be that Delaney whilst no 'star' will be a solid consistant performer.Strong runner,if not pacey,creates space for winger,good defender and can kick goals.From his profile pics seems to have a bit of size?

Lets see what happens,if the rumour is correct in the first place.

Oh look I'm just disappointed in the amount of average Aussies in SL as a whole and I don't like it that my club is contributing to that. And lets say he does sign and we win the SL next year does that make the signing of average Aussies OK?

I for one want to see England/GB be a team I can be proud of, and that will only happen if we start producing a bigger pool of English players, replacing promising young homegrown players with average Aussie squad players is not what I want to see any british team doing.
